FAQ Friday: Why is Tax Assessed Value Different Than Market Value?

▶️ Assessed value is the value of the property that is determined by a government agency or tax assessor for the purpose of calculating property taxes. The assessed value is usually a percentage of the market value of the property and is based on factors such as the property's size, location, and age.

▶️ Market value, on the other hand, is the price that a buyer and seller agree upon when a property is sold. Market value is based on factors such as the condition and location of the property, local real estate market conditions, and the demand for homes in the area.

▶️ Some examples of how these values may differ:

1. Time: The assessed value of a property is often based on data from the previous year, while the market value can change quickly based on current market conditions.

2. Appraisal: The assessed value is determined by a government agency or tax assessor, while the market value is often determined by a professional appraiser who takes into account factors such as the condition and unique features of the property.

3. Market conditions: The real estate market is constantly changing, and the demand for homes in a particular area can have a significant impact on the market value of a property.

4. Improvements: If a homeowner makes improvements to their property, such as adding a new kitchen or bathroom, the market value of the property may increase, but the assessed value may not be updated until the next assessment cycle.

▶️ It is important to understand that the assessed value of a property is not necessarily an accurate reflection of its market value. If you are planning to sell your home or are curious about its current market value, it is a good idea to consult with a real estate agent for a comparative market analysis (CMA) or hire an appraiser.

This week's client shout out goes to Audrey! We went to Lee University together and spent all four years in the political science "pod." Hours and hours of discussion with our cohort-- everything from law to ethics, books to movies, and as much philosophy as Audrey could get away with and I could handle.

Audrey and I worked together to find a great home for her in Cleveland a few years ago, and she's made it her own with each upgrade and modification.

Years after graduation and we're still friends. Find a friend like Audrey.

Congratulations to the Storz family and the Howard family on selling their homes today!

Both families took tremendous care of their homes -- one for the past 6 years and the other for over 30 years! That care was obvious to the market and to both young families that purchased them.

It was a pleasure to serve them both to accomplish their real estate goals.

Thank you to Dottie Sneed and Rhonda Bullard-King for being great agents to work with!

It's been a busy few weeks, and keeping up with social media always takes a back seat to being on the ball for my clients.

Congratulations to the Simons family, the Parsons family, the Burris Family, my long-time friend and investor, Restoration Fellowship Church, and the Laney family!

These folks represent buyers and sellers relocating, investors adding value to their community, and church congregations entering new seasons of partnership to grow the Kingdom.

To each of you that trusted me with your real estate needs, thank you! I get to do this for a living because of you -- I'm truly grateful.

If you're thinking of buying or selling a home this year, considering investment opportunities, relocating, searching for or selling commercial assets, I'd love to work with you!
